Kids in the Whitehouse!

The last thing I heard Tuesday evening before I went to bed was some old-enough-to-know-better network news anchor saying "blah, blah, blah . . .there will be children in the White House for the first time since the Kennedy era." HUH??? So what was Amy Carter? Technically, Chelsea Clinton was only 12 when she moved into the Whitehouse! Plus, Bhu wants to know "Watz all dis 'bout a PUPPY!" True, Bhu; I guess they're just not very enlightened. Anyway, isn't this a kewt, kewt photo of little Miss Amy and what a bewtiful kitteh!! As I recall, Chelsea had a kitteh, too -- remember Socks? xxoo Patty

NObama! Not over the HILL yet!

Gratuitous shot of the two Bhus. It is so hot and humid today, we are staying inside, although I did venture out to plant some beans and basil this morning. Harvested compost tea this morning and fed it to roses, peonies, hydrangeas and tomatoes.


No, Hill, I will NOT support that dude. It's not the first time I didn't believe I had a real choice, but it might be the first time I don't vote. I'm a Yankee Doodle Patty, a Yankee Skypants Do or Die! xxooo P

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning!

I guess at this point it's old news, but when I got to work yesterday I found out Chelsea was going to be at the Memorial Union, just a few steps away from my office, at 9:45. Dang! I had a meeting that started at 10 and didn't end until after 11, so I missed the whole thing. I would like to have seen her and talked with her a bit. I have a couple of ideas for "refashioned" Hillary campaign wear. I'll work one up this weekend and send it to her.

Politicians who completely disgust me: Claire McCaskill (traitor), Kenny Hulshof, Matt Blunt, Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey.

Other than that, our weather is up to it's usual: This morning it was like May with temps in the 60's and now, just a few hours later it's about 20 and getting colder and very windy. Yikes!
